A Pleasant Fiction.

The Louisville Post says: "How
styles have changed since was a
girl said an old lady, the other
day as she looked away down in
to the back of a fashionable
dressed girl. When l was young
she continued, we used to wear
our glove with only one button.
Now they wear the gloves up to
neck ond only one button to the
dress. / don't see how q woman
can retain her modesty or be in
ately refined if she goes in the
presence of men bare nearly to the
waist. Such costumes may be all
right, but it is derlo-ilizing for
young women. My time is near
ly up, but I really would like to
come back into this world in sixty
or seventy years from now, just
to see how women dress. If they
keep on reducing the extent of
their clothes at the same rate they
have in the last century, they
won't have on anything by that
time"
If the above prediction has any
LIKELIHOOD of being verified, We
desire greatly to live until that
time.

HE'LL sEEIT WHEN WAKES.

1We Temembes a. the Wilderness a gal
liant Mississipiah had fallen, and at night
and just before burying him there came a
letter from her he loved best One of the
group around his bOdy-a minister, whose
tenderness was womanly-broke the silent
tearfulness with which he saw the dead
letter; he took it and laid 1t upon the
breast of him whose heroic heart was still:
BURY it with him. He will see it when he
wakes.' 1t was the subIimest sentence of
his funeral service. e.l-ExCHANGE.
Amid the clouds of battle smoke,
The sun had died away,
And where the storm of battle broke,
A thousand warriors lay.
A hand of friends upon the field,
Stood round youthful form,
Who, when the war-cloud's thunder peal'd
Had perish d in the storm;
Upon his forehead, Oh his hair,
The coming moonlight breaks,
And each dear brother standing there
A tender farewell takes.
But ere they lay him in his home,
There came comrade near,
And gave a token that>had come
From her the dead held dear.
A moments doubt upon him press'd,
Then one the letter takes,
And lays it low upon his breast,
Hell see it when he wakes,''
Oh thou who dOst in sorrow wait,
Though thy dear message came too late,
Hell see it when he wakes 20
Ne'er more amid the fiery storm
Shall his strong arm be seen;
No more his young and manly form
Tread MiSsissippis green.
And cen thy tender words of love-
The words affection speaks
Came all too late; but oh thy love
''Will see them when he wakes -
No jars disturb his gentle rest,
No noise his slumber breaks,
But thy words sleep upon his breast
Hell see them when he wakes!'

The Kind of Wife he Wants.

You say you demand the noblest

If that is the sort of woman you want,
marry Nora Mulligan, your laundress'

is guiltless of corsets, never had sick
day in her life, takes in washing, goes
out house cleaning, and cooks for a
family of seven children, her mother,
and three section men, who board with
her. | don't think she would marry
you because Con Ragan, the track
walker, is her style of man. Let us
just examine into your qualifications
as a husband after your own matri-
monial ideas, my boy. Can you shoul
der barrel of -four and carry it down
in the cellar2 Can you saw and split
ten cords of hickory wood in the fall SO
as to have ready fuel for all winter?
Can you spade up an acre of ground
for kitchen garden? Do you know
what will take the limy taste out ofthe
new cistern, and can you patch the lit
tie leak in the kitchen roof? Can you
bring home pane of glass and wad
of putty and repair damages in the
sitting-room window? Can you hang
some cheap paper on the kitchen7
Can you fix the the front gate SO it will
not sag? Can you do anything about
the house that Con Ragan can9 My
dear boy, you see why Nora Mulligan
will have none of you; she wants
higher type of manhood. You expect
to hire mans work, about the house,
but you want your wife to do everything
that any woman can do. Believe me,
my dear son, -tenths of the girls
who play the piano and sing SO charm
ingly, whom you in your limited knowl-
edge set down as "butterhies of fashion"
are better fitted for wives than you are

PETER NEY'S ROMANCE.
NEW FACTS IN THE HISTORY
OF THE NORTH CAROLINA
SCHOOLMASTER.
HIS DEATH-BED STATEMENTS.
Cogent Reasons for Believing Him to
Have Been the Famous French
Marshal.

Many years ago, say in the early
morning of the present century, the
Piedmont region of North Carolina was
very sparsely settled, but the inhab-
itants of those days were thrifty, honest
and enterprising people. There were
no railroads then to carry off the extra
corn, cattle, tallow, hides, fur, whisky
and brandy, SO every fall there would
be large streams of white-top wagons
rolling southwark laden down with the
surplus from the rich farms which dotted
the country along the streams in that
section, and in a few weeks these
caravans, would return, bringing iron,
nails, sugar, coffee and molasses and a
few other household necessities which
could not be made by the nimble fin
gers of the industrious housewife.
Charleston, S. c., was then the great
Southern metropolis-it being the
largest trading centre on the Atlantic
slope south Of Philadelphia.
After the war of 1872 with our
Mother Country and cessation of hos
tilities with the red man, and after
National confidence had been fully
restored, those people began in earn
est to develop their beautiful and new
country. Their efforts were crowned
with success, and with prosperity came
4 new interest in educational matters.
No section OF the Old North State can
point to that period in her history
and show better record in the way
of educating their sons and daughters
than can Iredell, Davie, Rowan and
other counties lying along the east side
of the Blue Ridge. Colleges and high
schools were not accessible, as they
are now, but as the heads of the fam
lilies procured none but good teachers
for the log cabin schools, many of the
young people of those days received as
good an education as is often obtained
now in schools of high grade.
Among the many good teachers who
piled the vocation in those days was
one Peter S. Ney, who first made his
appearance in South Carolina during
the year 1876, and afterwards drifted
with the returning tide of traders to
North Carolina. He was an unusual
man for that country, and was soon
recognized by all with whom he came
in contact as being a man of superior
parts. He taught in several counties
and in several communities in each
county, and all the schools were sue
cessful. Judging from the character of
the man and from what he would occa
sionally say, the older pupils and their
parents were not a great while forming
the opinion that he was
THE CELEBRATED MARSHAL NEY,
Napoleon's "bravest of the brave" who
was, according to all history, "after
fifteen sittings Of the court of peers"
condemned to die for high treason,
was shot on the 9TH day of December,
1915, and whose "body received ten
balls and fell lifeless." This belief
continued to grow until by the time of
his death it was almost a settled fact
in the minds of those who knew him
we'll.
He died in Rowan county and was
buried at Third Creek church, and his
friends erected a marble slab at his
grave, bearing the following inscrip
ton:

Revolution, who died No

77'years.
AS time rolled on after the death of
the old gentleman, and as his pupils
grew up and became more famili IT
with French history and drew more
comparisons between the celebrated
Marshal and their dead teacher, the
interest increased and, notwithstand-
ing the mystery which seemed to hang
over Ney and his previous life, every
one of his old friends and pupils, with
out single exception, became fully
convinced that he was the veritable
Marshal. | have visited the homes
and talked with a great many Of Ney's
old pupils and acquaintances now liy-
ing in Carolina, and herewith give
some of his characteristics and pucu-
liarities, and some of the reasons those
people assign for believing him to be
the world-renowned Marshal, and !

THE ORIGIN OF "sEA AND LAND"

it does things without thinking; it
cannot restrain itself; it lives as
stone rolls down hill. So does the
parent to some degree. We men and
women become angry, fret, storm and
steu, rush into danger and do count
less things that we wish we had not
done; and if we become addicted to
some vice we become less and less
subject to self control. The passion
or appetite feeds and grows strong
upon qualification and, after awhile,
with conscious weakness and moral
principle undermined. it holds the
Will in subsection and we are slaves.
Prof. Wilkins gives an illustration of
this in one of his patients. He met
him one day pacing the hall and saw
that he was getting worse end
worse all the time. He had about
aespaired of ever effecting reform in
his case. But he bethought himself
Of applying a principle that he used
to apply when teaching school. That
was to induce child to see how long
it could sit still. He told the patient
to go into the reading room, sit
down, fold his arms and sit still as
long as he could. The man complied.
Some hours after that he saw the
patient pacing the hall again. He
approached him, and told him he had
done first rate in his first effort to
keep still, and asked him how long
he had sat in the reading room in the
first trial. The man replied half an
hour he thought The Professor
told him that he had sat there Just
two and half minutes. He had lit
tie control of himself. He was Just
drifting about like feather upon
THE wind, driven hither and thither,
as if he were not man, with reason
and will. The professor told him to
try it again and that time he sat for
thirty FIVE minutes, and when he
arose he had anew idea. He saw that
he could be master Of himself, and
from that time to this has had con-
troll of his appetites and has been
sober man. The curse of the world
can be banished when men learn to
control themselves and disdain to be
slaves.

Tact IN the Nursery D uring illness

The Matron of the London Hospi-
tai, Miss Eva G. E. Luckes, writing
in BaJyhood on the nursing of sick
children says: Sick children must be
left quiet rather than kept quiet;
their own inclinations are admirable
guides as to what is best for them in
this respect. We must keep our
sympathies with them keenly alive,
and endeavor to understand what our
little patients are feeling as we'll as
what is needful to do for them.
We may reasonably try if toys are
acceptable for the moment, but if
they are rejected there is no object
in inducing child to play. We
must endeavor to soothe 1t, as far as
possible, into the healthful condition
it is evidently needing, and on no
account attempt to arouse the child
against its inclination, except when
the administration of food or other
remedies render it imperative to do
80. On the other hand if the young
patient shows desire to play, that
is good sign in itself, and it is in
flnitely better to produce the wished
for toys than to risk excitement and
irritation by withholding them in
what will prove futile hope of
keeping the child absolutely quiet,
supposing that line of treatment does
not commend itself to him. We can
no more afford to disregard the men
tai condition of juvenile patients than
we can venture to ignore it in adults,
if we wish to nurse successfully. 1t
may often be a question how far the
good of the remedy ordered would
counterbalance the evil of the strug.
gle and cry that may be involved in
its application in the case of an ex.
citable child who is in a very crit.
cal condition, and the decision can
be wisely arrived at in each individ
ual instance only according to the
nature of the illness and the import
ance of the means prescribed. In
saying this l do not for one moment
mean to imply that the doctors ord
ers may be set aside whenever it is
difficult or painful to execute them,
but am anxious to point out that
the nursing of child claims intelli-
gent consideration from every point
of view, and that mechanical ODE
dience in some circumstances is the
last thing that a skillful doctor
would desire.
